Baby Bach

Summary: Love it!
Review: My daughter loves this video, as well as all of the others in the Baby Einstein series. If she is cranky, all I have to do is pop this in, and she immediately cheers up. Couldn't live without it!

Summary: Baby Likes It
Review: If my baby likes it, I like it. She likes this one a lot. Her favorite part is the sparkly balls at the beginning and the spinning top. My favorite part is the lightning ball. Before someone bought this for me and we tried it out, I was very anti-sit-your-baby-in-front-of-the-tv, but I think these "digital board books" are fine as long as it's not an everyday thing (I think the "repeat play" option is not a great idea) and you actually interact with your child during the show as they recommend. Granted, it can be a boring show for the grownup at times, especially after you know it by heart - and you will - however, the final word is if it makes my baby happy it makes me happy.

Summary: Just as good as Mozart
Review: My children love it! I have 2 children and both love it although the older one doesn't have the attention span as she used to (7 month old and 21 month old). I reccommend playing it from when they are infants because as they get older it's familiar and soothing. We use the videos as "winding down " tools at night before bedtime. My 7 month old is captivted as soon as it comes on.

Summary: One of the Best in our collection
Review: My 15 month old daughter still loves this video. As with every video and toy, every child may react differently. Just because my child loves it, your's may not. My daughter starting watching Baby Bach, Baby Mozart and Baby Einstein at about 4-5 months old. She is extremely advanced with her vocabulary and already knows her entire uppercase alphabet. I have to attribute some of this advancement to these videos, along with other teaching tools I am using. I show them to her on almost a daily basis and she does not get tired of them. She is now mostly watching Baby Van Gogh, Baby Shakespere and Baby Dolittle's Neighborhood Animals. I still get the Bach and Mozart out now and then and she hasn't forgotten them.
I highly recommend all in this series and especially Bach and Mozart for younger babies.

Summary: A good, cheerful dvd
Review: I bought the whole Baby Einstein set, (10 so far) for my daughter when she was 2 months old. So far this one is by far her favorite of the ones for 18 months and under. She laughs and talks to it, she especially likes the children's appearances. I'd recommend it, especially if you can find the set, it's way cheaper than buying them individually.

Summary: Tries to be Baby Mozart but not as good
Review: I bought this tape after my infant daughters fell under the delightful spell of Baby Mozart. While this tape is also primarily soothing classical music and video footage of toys and puppets, it doesn't seem to work the magic that Baby Mozart does. My girls lose interest in the tape about halfway through. I have had much better luck with Baby Van Gogh and Baby Newton.

Summary: Not so good for infants
Review: Regrettably, Baby Bach just doesn't have the infant-mesmerizing magic of the Baby Beethoven and Baby Mozart DVDs. The toys are not very interesting, many are static, and many seem to be there only to sell more toys. Our six-month old loves Baby Beethoven and Baby Mozart, but he can't stand ten minutes of this one.

Summary: Don't waste your money
Review: My son is a big fan of Baby Mozart so I thought he may like this one too. Not so! After reading other reviews I now see that others have the same problem that I do; my son cries when he watches it. I have tried several times to get him to watch it, only to get the same reaction over and over. We never have this problem with the Mozart video.
While this is not the most captivating video for adults, I have watched about 7 minutes of it before my son gets upset. Compared to the Mozart video there is much less movement and few contrasting colors and designs. She did not incorporate as many animals or puppets into Bach, something that my son loves about Mozart. I must say that the children in the video are not very interesting either (cute, but not necessary to the video.)
My advice is to skip this one and buy Mozart instead.

Summary: Keeps her entertained
Review: While Baby Bach is not captivating to me, it keeps my 10 month old entertained the whole way through. But it isn't meant for mothers it is meant for infants and toddlers as it says in the editorial review. If you are looking for something for the baby that constantly needs entertained I would recommend giving it a try. If it doesnt work, sorry, every baby is different!
By the way, these videos were composed in a basement on a low budget until Disney bought it, that may explain the BRIEF use of her own children in the videos.

Summary: Beware - this video can be scarey for some children
Review: My twins (22 months) love elmo and I wanted them to try something else. So we rented this DVD, one of the twins was very scared of some of the scenes in this video. It had her screaming in terror. The scenes with the dark backgrounds, especially the one with the touch globe were the ones that were frightening to her.
